Untitled Document
It has now been several years since the economy emerged out of the previous recession. While not back to the "normal" levels of activity we saw prior to the crash, business has come back solidly. There is already speculation about when the good times will end and this event will bring together leading commercial lenders and equity sponsors to discuss how to be on the lookout for trends leading up to the Crack. The conversation will also focus on the opportunities that will be available when things go south. This is a must attend event for anyone who wants to be prepared to succeed in the next downturn.
